I'm just miffed
I'm kinda ticked off because I was all set to buy a few machines
this week. Now, I'm probably better off limping along for a while
(unless Apple sales fall way off and we get some serious
discounts for legacy machines). But overall, I'm not terribly
upset by the move. In the long run, it's a good thing--Apple
machines will always be as fast as the fastest Windows machine.
It's not like Windows will hop to PPC or Cell. And while the PPC
and Cell have a bigger upside, it would be a big gamble to wait
around for that to materialize. Here, Jobs played it safe and
assured himself of at least a tie.

That said, in the short term, as it was for 680x0 to PPC, for OS9
to OSX, it's gonna be a pain in my arse.

But I'll live.
